I'm okay with Pedophila being defined as a disablity - part of that should be that they are required to live in group homes under constant supervision for life - including the necessary medication that reduces or eliminates thier impulses.

We kinda need to decide what to "do" about pedophelia. If someone is trying to get help I would rather they collect a few bucks in disability payments while they spend most of their time in treatment than working a job, frankly. It's a better investment of time and money.

ITA with this. What else are we going to do with pediphiles? Put them to sleep?

Even if they've never acted on their impulses at all? I think you'd be surprised at how many group homes you would need to build, and how many people would be living in them.

The same reasoning which makes pedophilia a disability also makes a rapist disabled. And a drug addict. And a video game addict. And a couch potato. And a habitual bank robber. And a habitual drunk driver. Etc.

If I can't get married because I'm gay, I would totally be open to receiving disability, please and thank you.

Also. I hadn't really heard much about the difference between pedophilia and actual child sex abusers until DT. For clarification, does this mean that all child sex abusers are pedophiles but not all pedophiles are sex abusers? Is pedophilia about power (like rape or sex abuse is) or attraction only?
